Dobson, who was a healthy scratch in Week 1, is not listed among ESPN's Mike Reiss' projected inactives for Sunday's game against the Vikings. We'll confirm that notion, one way or the other, in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but in the event that Dobson does rejoin the Patriots' wideout mix this weekend, we'd still like to see him turn in a full and production game before endorsing him as a lineup option. Down the road though, Dobson has the potential to emerge as a key downfield threat in the New England offense.
